Freshest News: Uchi no Otouto-domo ga Sumimasen rumored to be getting animated, A Tale of the Secret Saint anime PV revealed, the curious case of 30 Years Frozen and 3 Brothers vertical drama, and more!

Uchi no Otouto-domo ga Sumimasen (Please Excuse My Younger Brothers) is rumored to be getting an anime adaptation, according to SugoiLITE . It previously had a live-action movie released in December last year.

Ito is a second-year high school student and an only child who has to move to a different city; her mother remarried and begins her new life as an older sister of 4 siblings! The start of a family-love-comedy with four step-brothers.

(Note: This is not a confirmed reverse harem. See: Levels of Reverse Harem. I'm not sure if the rumors are based on the opening of a Twitter account on July 15 or a website domain registration..--ayreesa)

The promotional video for A Tale of the Secret Saint anime was revealed during Earth Star Novel’s 10th Anniversary Summer Festival. The anime is set to premiere in 2026. Seven Seas has licensed both the light novel and manga adaptations. More information on ANN.

Fia always dreamed of becoming a knight. Born into a family of knights, she's the least talented among them, but she still clutches to her hope and trains with everything she has. When the day comes for her to slay a small demon and prove her worth, she ends up face to face with a dragon instead! A deadly injury makes her life flash before her eyes…and she suddenly remembers her former life, when she was a powerful Saint in a bygone era who defeated the Demon King. That life ended in pain because of who she was, making her fear ever becoming a Saint again. Now that the magic from her previous life has been rekindled, she may become a more powerful knight than she ever dreamed–if only she can survive long enough!

stone616 said on Reddit:This one snuck up on me because I didn't even really realize it was one until deep into volume 2 and I started thinking about how 90% of these characters are males except her...

Boy the plot for this has seemed to slow to a crawl. The harem is getting unmanageably large to the point I forget some of the characters because there are so many.

Guide Override manhwa started on Manta on July 4, 2025.

Yeoeul Baek, a humble C-class guide, desires nothing more than a quiet life with a stable income. But her plans are turned upside down when an extraordinary 89% match with Yihyeon Han—the world's most powerful S-class esper—forces her into a full-time role she never expected. Now, Yeoeul must navigate a world where her once ordinary life is anything but…

Appointed as a saint merely to secure political power for the crown prince, Ariel Celestin knows certain death awaits her if she’s ever found out to be a fraud. Desperate to avoid this fate, she comes up with a plan: secretly flee the temple with the help of the gods who dote on her! But when her actions accidentally draw the attention of the crown prince, the pope, and a powerful merchant, Ariel soon discovers that asking the gods to help might not be a big enough miracle to save herself...

(Not a confirmed reverse harem, as they might be actual siblings. lol. Anyway, I wasn’t even supposed to include this anymore, but the number of adaptations just seems so strange. Is this AI-generated? Is this going to be a new trend now?)

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

Reverse harem is not an exact science. Fans may have a different interpretation of what reverse harem is. Now, this a tale of two otomes turned animes from Winter 2015 who just didn't quite feel reverse harem at all. And I thought it was going to be the best season ever. Boy, I was wrong. Prince of Stride: Alternative- 12 episodes Nana enters Honan Academy to join the stride club.

Reverse Harem Anime Catch-Up Marathon: Nil Admirari, Yume 100, Dame x Prince, Scared Rider Xechs and Magic-Kyun

My marathon started in March of last year with two seasons of B-Project , fourth/last season Uta Prince No Sama and Phantom of Twilight . I usually blog my review before I start with watching the next anime but at the rate I'm going it will take me forever to get it all done. I decided to watch the remaining anime one after another without blogging and I finished it all by December. The last time I had this marathon was from the time I first discovered reverse harem. But unlike before, this time I feel like I was losing my mind and I'm going to quit watching reverse harem anime for good. Well almost. The only way for me to blog all these anime would be in one go...again. I'm just going to keep 'em all short. Disclaimer: As usual I have not played any of the games.
